RiseUp Summit is a three-day, one-stop-shop, entrepreneurship marathon. Thought leaders, media mavens, tech-legends and power player investors gather to share their experience, support and invest in the Middle East & Africa’s flourishing entrepreneurial ecosystem. It includes workshops, inspiring talks, panel discussions and startup stations, pitch competitions, and networking platforms with industry experts.

The Summit is going back to the roots this year, reminding us to keep both feet on the ground. It’s all about being real with what we want to create as an ecosystem, how to reach resources more easily, and taking better risks. Grounded Experiences brings back to mind that yes, entrepreneurship means if you fall, you’ll fall hard and if you rise, you’ll soar, that’s why you’ve always got to aim high but stay grounded.

RiseUp Summit 2018 is located in the heart of Downtown Cairo, Egypt, taking over the Greek Campus and The American University in Cairo at Tahrir Square from 7-9 December.

As one of RiseUp's first believers, and partners, Wamda will be co-hosting 'RiseUp X Wamda Investor dinner' reception happening on December 6th, at the Swedish Ambassador's Villa, Zamalek at 8:00 PM.
